SHERMAN CURSE? The Chance that nearly wasn't

Image
Today saw something happened that I was unsure would ever take place. The release of Spencer's Chance. Spencer for those of you unfamiliar with my Sherman series is the eldest of the four brothers. He is strong (as all Shermans are) but not the same as the others, Tony is strong in his need to protect, Lucas in his need to fight for those he loves, Trent in his need to save, so that leaves Spencer the one who is strong in holding it all together. In Hunting JC he is the one to pick JC up when she is out her lowest, in Tony's Haven he is there to pick up Haven when Tony hurts her. But it was in that story that Spencer took a different trek for me. He fell in love with his brothers girlfriend. I hadn't planned that. No in fact my whole plan in Tony's Haven was to show the readers who hated him in Hunting JC the amazing and complex man I knew Tony was but that I failed to portray in the first book. But there it was Spencer was moving out of character. He was, in

Recipe Wednesday Light Pasta Sauce by Viki Lyn #foodie #Recipes

Image
by Viki Lyn I was raised in a family of chefs. My grandfather left his hometown in Italy as a young lad, and crossed the Atlantic Ocean during the early 20th century. From New York City, he boarded a train to California. He had work lined up in San Francisco as a sous chef in a prestigious hotel where he learned his trade. My father inherited my grandfather’s love of food and was an excellent cook. My father never measured anything, so when he wrote down a recipe it was a pinch of this and handful of that. This recipe is all about a pinch of this and a handful of that. You can add whatever you have in the fridge…be creative…and have fun. Light Pasta Sauce Start with simmering garlic in olive oil. Stir occasionally. Adjust heat as needed so you don't burn the garlic. Snoop around your vegetable bin and decide which veggies to use. The only essential vegetable is the tomato! I’m partial to my old standbys: Mushrooms Fresh Tomatoes Zucchinis Red Bell Pepper Chop

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO DISQUIETED SOULS, a BLACK HILLS WOLVES NOVEL, #29

Image
PURCHASE LINK:  Willow Bissett, a fashion photographer, has had enough of the career that’s blackened her soul, and wants out. Her passion lies in taking pictures of nature, and she’s determined to make a living from doing it. When she stumbles upon a gruesome scene in the Black Hills Forest, her life is forever changed. Greyson shouldn't be alive. As the runt of the litter, his mother left him to die in the wilderness. Picked up by Drew, son of the Alpha, he is adopted into the Tao Pack. Rather than living a charmed life, he lives his days alone, tormented by his abandonment and his unique appearance. His soul yearns for acceptance, peace, and closure. Willow could be the answer to Greyson’s prayers, or the very death of him. “Are you a fugitive from the law?” He bared a perfect set of pearly white teeth any mother would be proud of and chuckled. “No. And I’ve never been arrested, either. You can relax.” “So,” she pressed on, breathing easier once ag

5 things I love :) 1. Being a Black Hills Wolves Author 2. Other Black Hills Wolves Books.                                                      Amazon / ARe / BN Nothing Xio Davis does is right.

As Xio sinks into the criminal underworld, the FBI catches up with her. Now, she’s got one way out: snitch. When Xio turns state's evidence against a Mexican drug lord, Agent Marcus Cazador steps up to take her home, giving up his career, his place in the El Paso pack, and all he knows to protect her.

Or will the Black Hills be the end of the road on her long journey to redemption? Amazon / ARe / BN Ten years ago, visions of death and the

Character Interview with Landra Graf

Image
Thank you for coming to chat with us today. Why do you think Landra chose you to represent her?  She's always told me I've got a lot of charm. It could also be because I'm good at getting people to talk to me... Oh, and I like to talk. Tell us a little about yourself?  My name is Ian Malcolm. I'm a ex-merchant and land owner, who's had to turn to bounty hunting as a way of repaying my debt to the mercenary gang that helped me escape my cousin and America.  What is your birth date? It's rude to ask man how old he is. *smiles wide* No, honestly I was born in the early 1900s, during the first world war to be more on point. I've never known a time where Germany didn't rule continental Europe, nor have I ever known liquor to be legal in America. Where do you live? Right now, I'm on board the sky ship Liberte . I'm escorting the ship, crew, and their gorgeous Captain on a mission to locate that mercenary gang I mentioned. I
